Dance vs Music !!!

A traditional tamil brahmin upbringing gave me a decent exposure into the fields of carnatic music and bharathanatyam even when i was a kid who hadnt learnt cricket. But in spite of such a prolonged exposure , i have never come to like dance even though its such a beautiful art form.

Lets broadly classify dance as the amorous or related(fun and merry) and the non-amorous(divine) ones. Salsa, Jazz and the other forms perhaps because of their amorous nature seem to involve the audience and take them to a different level . But in case of a classical non-amorous dance form the audience needs to be at a very different plane to get involved.

May be its just me , but whenever i have gone to an arangetram it looks obvious to me that but for a few dance lovers the rest of the audience only enjoys the music. Music on the other hand somehow seems to involve the audience and doesnt require them to be on an elevated plane.

what say ?
